It’s superhero movie season. But then again, what time of year isn’t these days? As we brace ourselves for the release of Zach Snyder’s Justice League next week, we’re looking back at the movie which was supposed to kick of Warner Brothers’ slate of DC Comics-based movies. Marvel makes it look easy with the success of their Cinematic Universe. But Green Lantern reminds us of everything that can (and did) go wrong.

Is that why they apparently omitted 'Green Lantern' (GL) from Justice
'League' (JL?) I had been anticipating GL, then decided not to watch,
nor JL., or much superhero stuff since the 1990s, except a couple/few
times (the restarted Batman, all earlier ones I'd missed/ignored after
watching 'Batman Returns' in theatre, and the first three X-men, only for
a class paper topic, and the first three Spider-man.)
